Building deal-flow infrastructure for a fragmented, compliance-driven market.
Commercial electrical upgrades are a multi-billion dollar replacement cycle without a default operating layer. Switchgear Brokers is building it.
Aging infrastructure meets a fragmented service market.
Owners have growing electrical liability. Contractors have inconsistent demand and high estimating cost. There is no neutral, structured layer that closes the gap.
Aging stock
A majority of US commercial buildings were built before modern electrical load standards.
Compliance pressure
Code updates, AHJ enforcement, and insurance scrutiny are accelerating the upgrade cycle.
No default operator
No platform underwrites, scopes, and matches commercial electrical projects at scale.
Capital is willing
Owners, lenders, and insurance carriers want execution certainty — not just lead lists.
Three forces are converging on the same upgrade decision.
Demand surge
EV, electrification, and tenant load demand are forcing service upgrades that were deferred for decades.
Compliance squeeze
Insurance carriers and AHJs are tightening expectations on aged electrical systems.
Capital alignment
Owners and lenders are willing to fund upgrades with credible execution paths.
Why this becomes infrastructure, not a marketplace.
Each closed project standardizes more scope, sharpens contractor matching, and improves underwriting. The platform compounds — it does not just transact.
Proprietary deal data
Every closed project enriches scope, pricing, and contractor performance data.
Standardization compounds
Each upgrade type becomes faster and lower-risk to execute the next time.
Two-sided defensibility
Owners trust execution. Contractors trust deal quality. Both sides get stickier with volume.
Performance-based margin
Success-fee model aligns incentives and produces durable, scalable take rate.
The default entry point for commercial electrical upgrades.
Own the deal flow. Standardize the transaction. Layer in data, automation, and capital partners. Become the operating layer the entire category routes through.
